Torcherino Mod 1.11/1.10.2/1.9.4/1.7.10

Torcherino Mod adds to Minecraft world a single block, a torch with its very special ability of increasing the speed (tick rate) of nearby blocks.
Right click it to change the AOE (mode) and shift-right click to change the speed. Redstone can also disable it.

Examples of uses:

Growing plants quickly

Smelting ores quickly

Increasing mob spawner speed

There is one main Torcherino, and then there are various upgrades that add onto them. Many of these things are configurable in the mod configuration file.
